The post-natal appointment

Four to six weeks after your delivery, your postpartum visit will ensure that your health and spirits are high.

• This important medical appointment is designed to check on your physical and emotional recovery from pregnancy and childbirth.
• The doctor, gynecologist, or midwife will perform an abdominal, pelvic, breast, vaginal and uterine check-up.
• If you have had a cesarean section or episiotomy, the incision will be checked for proper healing.
• Topics of concern such as sexuality, baby blues, or postpartum depression will be addressed.
